It is no wonder then that it is in Wales that the longest street around the world is located.
Llanfairpwlgwlyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllllllantysilogogoch – no, the cat did not step on the keyboard. This is the street name in the Welsh town of Llanfairpwlgwlwlwlwlwlyngyll on the island of Anglesey. In translation from Welsh, it means: “The church of Saint Maria on the pond among Białe Leszczyn near the water vortex under the red cavern at the church of St. Tysilia.” This is the third geographical name in the world and by far the longest street name around the globe.
